"Pfft, no problem. Mind if I tag along? If it turns out to be legit, I can say I helped a student to get credit towards my next class." Chaucer then coughed into his fist. "Also Heimdall's busy, so I've got no one to nag."

Athena shrugged and motioned for him to lead the way.

...

The lower levels of Skycrown were quiet, its halls lacking the same foot-traffic as above. The thin hum of florescent lighting followed Athena and Chaucer everywhere; the only sound outside the pair's footfalls against the concrete floor.

"That's the second ceiling light that's started bugging out," said Chaucer, the blond pausing to look up as a bulb began flickering. "Think it's electromagnetic interference, or just dying?"

(Could I modify Tune In or Receiver to see into the EM spectrum? I have Forces 2 and those are 1-dot spells, if it helps.)

[I don't see why not. I'll even give you a +1 bonus if you describe the imago as you cast the spell.]

(Brain isn't feeling creative, sorry. Spending Reach on Instant Casting and Advanced Duration, using her magical tool as a Yantra for +1)

Casting her spell, Athena opened herself to the electromagnetic spectrum, the magic of the Aether translating it into knowledge she could understand. Little under a minute, she could tell there was a fluctuation in power, the circuitry of the campus growing less and less viable the lower one traveled. Yet a pattern stood out even amongst the slipshod wiring. Too precise to be coincidental, almost like musical notes or Morse code. If the latter, then it wasn't something Athena's spell was able to interpret beyond a tempo, rhythm and sound.

"See anything?" asked Chaucer.

"Yeah, there's some kind of pattern of EM signals. Can't really figure out what it is, but there's definitely something there."

A grin crossed Chaucer's face. "Iiiiinteresting," he said. "No sign of the box, and we're already finding something to work with." The male theurge then pulled a notepad out of his jacket, handing it over to Athena. "Heimdall's taught me some pointers on the Space arcanum," he said. "Between that, Forces, your knowhow with Matter, we can combine spells to fully transpose the data on paper."

"Sounds like a plan. Let's get started?"

[Alright, Teamwork Spellcasting. Athena is the primary actor. Chaucer's only going to use Space to give Athena enhanced spatial awareness, granting a +1 to her spellcasting.]

*Rollz*

[Add an extra +2 to your dicepool.]

(Which Arcana am I rolling? Forces or Matter?)

[Matter.]

Reach for Instant Casting, and using up the overflow mana from the Tass found.

The sound of hammers rang out in Athena's mind as both her and Chaucer's magic took hold. Before their eyes, scribblings danced along the paper to form a blueprint, the pigment of the page darkening in place of pencil-lead and ink. No sooner had it manifested than the page flipped to the next of its own accord. Then the next, and the next. Everything, down to the last decimal, was noted, before - as one - the pages flopped back into place, the air hinted with smoke.

"Well crap," said Chaucer. "Now I'm out of a notepad..."
